Can’t Beat God’s Peace
Peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of God. That’s why the world can’t give you peace. Peace is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that dwells in all believers. Doesn’t matter what’s happening around you…no matter how great the storm, or how deep the valley, God’s Spirit can bring peace into your life when you keep your eyes on Jesus. Try it!
Bloom Where You are Planted
When you don’t feel like you’re “enough”, when you look around and think everybody else does things better than you, remember this: A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms. And every flower is beautiful in its own way. So folks, bloom where you’re planted! Forget the other “flowers” and be the best that YOU can be.
Something to Think About
Oh to see Jesus and experience the wonders that He has prepared for us. I can’t help but wonder if after five minutes inside eternity, will we wish that we had sacrificed more, wept more, loved more, grieved for the lost, prayed more, sweated more, and given more? Think about it
Greater is He in me!
I love the verse in I John 4:4 that says “Greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world.” When you accept Jesus as your Savior, there is something inside of you that the enemy fears. His name is Jesus and His Spirit is clearing the path for you this very day. Someone who has lived in fear all your life needs to hear this. You ARE exactly the person God is indwelling at this very moment…and He is all about winning, never losing. That means, He will make sure that you can overcome every obstacle in your path.
Dishing out Hurt
If you have to hurt other people to feel important or powerful, you are an extremely sad and weak individual. If you’re on the other end of that hurt, just know that the person dishing out the hurt is a damaged person who has been wounded somewhere along the way. Then forgive them and walk on…then pray for them and be glad God has brought you to where you are today.
You are Unique
For the person who has always felt out of place….for the one who has asked God why He made you the way He did…to the one who feels misunderstood and sometimes lonely…did it ever cross that your mind that He made you different than others because He wants you to stand out, not fit in. Never doubt for one minute that you aren’t someone special in His eyes, unique for a reason.
